WASHINGTON, DC — Attendees at a protest Thursday expressed frustration over former U.S. President Barack Obama’s failure to close the Guantánamo Bay prison, which he promised to do on the first day of his presidency.

The protesters also denounced President Donald Trump. An imam calling for Gitmo, as the facility is commonly known, to be shut down also urged authorities to detain U.S. President Donald Trump in a similar facility for refusing to give into the demonstrator’s demands.

Many demonstrators placed the blame on the fairly new U.S. President Donald Trump for keeping the detention center, ignoring his predecessor’s eight years in power, including a time when Democrats held a super majority.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) organized the protest with the Justice for Muslims Collective. The event took place in front of the White House to mark the 16th anniversary of the first jihadists transferred to Gitmo.

“Let us rename this horrendous place that it’s just smearing to all humanity, which is an affront to all humanity, let’s rename it ‘Trump Tower,’” Imam Khalid Griggs from the terrorism-linked Islamic Circle of North of America (ICNA) declared during the rally Thursday, referring to Gitmo.
